The
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fIpam_namespace\&.so\fR
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
module allows setup of private namespaces with polyinstantiated directories\&. Directories can be polyinstantiated based on user name or, in the case of SELinux, user name, sensitivity level or complete security context\&. If an executable script
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
/etc/security/namespace\&.init
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
exists, it is used to initialize the namespace every time an instance directory is set up and mounted\&. The script receives the polyinstantiated directory path and the instance directory path as its arguments\&.

The first field,

Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fIpolydir\fR, is the absolute pathname of the directory to polyinstantiate\&. The special string
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fI$HOME\fR

The second field,

Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fIinstance_prefix\fR

|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
is the string prefix used to build the pathname for the instantiation of <polydir>\&. Depending on the polyinstantiation

Packit Service |
b29381 |

it is then appended with "instance differentiation string" to generate the final instance directory path\&. This directory is created if it did not exist already, and is then bind mounted on the <polydir> to provide an instance of <polydir> based on the <method> column\&. The special string
|

Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fI$HOME\fR

The third field,
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fImethod\fR, is the method used for polyinstantiation\&. It can take these values; "user" for polyinstantiation based on user name, "level" for polyinstantiation based on process MLS level and user name, "context" for polyinstantiation based on process security context and user name, "tmpfs" for mounting tmpfs filesystem as an instance dir, and "tmpdir" for creating temporary directory as an instance dir which is removed when the user\*(Aqs session is closed\&. Methods "context" and "level" are only available with SELinux\&. This field cannot be blank\&.

The fourth field,
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
\fIlist_of_uids\fR, is a comma separated list of user names for whom the polyinstantiation is not performed\&. If left blank, polyinstantiation will be performed for all users\&. If the list is preceded with a single "~" character, polyinstantiation is performed only for users in the list\&.

In case of context or level polyinstantiation the SELinux context which is used for polyinstantiation is the context used for executing a new process as obtained by getexeccon\&. This context must be set by the calling application or
|
|
Packit Service |
b29381 |
pam_selinux\&.so

Packit Service |
b29381 |
module\&. If this context is not set the polyinstatiation will be based just on user name\&.

The "instance differentiation string" is <user name> for "user" method and <user name>_<raw directory context> for "context" and "level" methods\&. If the whole string is too long the end of it is replaced with md5sum of itself\&. Also when command line option
